DPM – Create Recovery Point Error

Here I would like to share with you on the issue that I hit during a Create Recovery Point.

When I tried to create the recovery point, the message that I got was at the following screen.

e

Thus, I login to the targeted client that is reporting to this particular DPM.  The client is MY-VM-SVR-FS001.

Open the Server Manager, drill down to Configuration – Services.  On the right pane, look for DPM Writer service, then start it.

Go back to the DPM server that this client is reporting, then Create Recovery Point.  It will go through.

Thank you & hope it helps.
